And so, we come to a close. Let's epilogue this shit.

Previous Adventures

Gotta trade 'em all, gotta trade 'em aaaall, Pokemon! )

Much love to [info]hanae0711 for all the pictures she drew for this one, and the other ones. She also drew this little thing, which makes me giggle heartily.

If anyone wants me to do something other than Soul Blazer for the next one, now would be the time to speak up!

Thanks for reading, guys. It's been a blast.

Okay, this is the penultimate episode for sure. Let's finish this sucker!

Previous Adventures

Pokemon (trading cards)! Gotta collect 'em! )


Final episode tomorrow. Maybe later today, if all goes well.

I've been giving Metal Gear Solid 3 a proper shot for the last week, and I have to say, it really picks up the further you get into it. I just got past the fight with The End (who I probably like an inordinate amount, augh) and cackled gleefully at EVA someone singing Snake Eater while Snake climbed up that huge ladder. XD
Also I'd like some Snake/Paramedic fluff cough cough

Also: Rogue Galaxy is fun (Jaster/Lilika fuck yeah Amazon chick), Soul Calibur III kicks ass (and Chronicles of the Sword makes me want to write OC fanfic >_> ), Breath of Fire has too much grinding, and [info]bio_shocked is really picking up and you should totally join it if you want to have some fun RPing.

Hey, look at me, finally using the extra icon space [info]disbelieves sprung for. (Did I mention I love her? I love her.)

Anyway. Penultimate episode, I think! Maybe!

Previous Adventures

To trade them is my real test, to duel them is my cause... )

No other news comes to mind. I'm churning out a good bit of stuff for the Wright-a-Thon, though!

Oh man, I'd forgotten how depressing Mother 3 is. Being able to talk to everyone just after the thing with Hinawa is just...slkddsgf. I have to keep shutting it down so I don't get all depressed.

Previous Adventures

I wanna be the very best, like no-one ever was... )

So, Pyra and I finally caught each other on AIM and chatted awhile. We decided, just before I trotted off to work, that we should pose this question to our respective F-lists:

What would be some terrible activities to do while naked?

While you think on that, have a screencap adventure. XD

Previous Adventures

We will prepare, then we will fight! )

In life-news, [info]pwdressingroom seems to be picking up, which is nice. Otherwise...basically just doing a lot of essaywriting and PS2 playing. XD

Twiddled my icons around a bit. Now I have delicious Bill Murray and David Tennant for your eyes. :B

And you know, it continually amazes me how willingly I have thrown away, quite literally, hundreds of hours of my life on RPGs. Although what really amazes me is how little I regret it. I mean, I'm playing Breath of Fire and FFVIII right now, and I don't bat an eye at the readouts on the save file.
"You have spent thirty hours of your life playing this game, Jonesy." they say. "You have finished this game before. You will not see anything new."
"I know." I say. And I keep playing.

Anyway. Adventure!

Once, a long time ago, I was doing a screencap adventure. Some of you may have heard of it, but it has largely passed into the things of legends. 'The Next TCG Episode': hallowed words, often invoked, rarely fulfilled.

Until now.

Previous Adventures

What do you think I am, psychic? )

Small round-up of my current PS2 gorging:
- God of War is the most hilariously masculine game ever. It's completely filled with grunting and blood and stabbing and girls with their tits out. No joke, at the start of the second level there is a timed-button-pressing minigame where you have hot sweaty sex with these two concubines you picked up. All the action takes place offscreen of course, but the whole game fills with these orgasmic moans. It's the biggest load of confirm-your-heterosexuality ever. XD
Reminds me a lot of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, too. Like, a lot.
- Disgaea 2 is fun fun fun. I've not played a strategy game properly since I finished Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, so this is reaaally scratching an itch. A lot easier to get into than I thought, and some stellar writing and art direction too. 8Db
- Bully is still awesome. I am actually shunning GTA: San Andreas in favour of it. :V
- I really really want to replay FFVII for the...fourth time, I think. Halp. D:

Okay! I am thoroughly bounced back right now. As long as I keep a level head and keep tapping away at the work, everything's gonna be aaaaall right.

A few things first: read this story. It's written by my good buddy Ellie, and man...if you have ANYTHING to do with fandom, I think it'll amuse you.

Secondly:


«The ‡RP Concrit‡ Meme»


Because hey, I can always do better! :D

Thirdly, screencap adventure!

Previous Episodes

To fight! To win! To play a children's card game! )

One club left, and then we fight the Elite Four Grand Masters!

...I keep thinking of stuff to say here, but I've always forgotten by the time I sit down. Oh well!

~ Aaron

PS: I kind of want to apply at [info]campfuckudie, since it seems like fun, but guh applications and effort. Do you think I should push on through, Flist, or is this just me adding more work to my pile when I know I can't handle it out of some obscure masochistic tendency?

All right, it's been...15 days! Time to finally do another episode. I'm really sorry it took so long, but in between schoolwork and work and being sick and the cat going into the hospital...well, it's taken me awhile to get back to my usual chipper nature. Still, here we are!

Previous Episodes

There are no basic Pokemon in Jonesy's hand! )

I started doing an archive trawl of Megatokyo after not reading it for a good 2 years. God, what is wrong with me.

We're going to see the cat in the hospital tomorrow morning sometime. I have two oral presentations to do and an essay to start for next week. I really hope this lightening of the mood lasts.

Mum told me, on the ride home from work, that she was 'surprised how deeply I was concerned by the cat'. I've always been one to mute my emotions - when I have big, powerful emotions I tend to tone them down, either out of embarrassment or just not wanting to load it on other people - and apparently it leaked through how gut-wrackingly worried I was.

...just got me to thinking, that. Anyway. Screencap adventure.

Ahaha. FINALLY starting this up again. Apologies for that...almost month-long delay, christ. I have no-one to blame but myself and possibly Hana.

Ronaaaaaald! )

Now I should probably cap the next part. I've only left it for nearly a month, god. So disappointed in myself.

Thank you to [info]hanae0711 for the picture, and for putting up with my nagging. If you like food, you should check out her foodblog, [info]omnomfood!

I finished Kingdom Hearts! Fun enough game, although the world design could use some work. All that backtracking was tedious. And man was that final boss fight ever easy. I know it's made for the young'uns, but...a Square game without an ass-hard final boss just seems...off, somehow.

Anyway. Adventure!

You know what's awesome?
Spending 2 hours on public transport to cross the city for the Nintendo Connection Tour, gaining a splitting headache in the process, and doing a circuit around the biggest shopping centre in the country before finding out the thing finished a day early.

You know what's more awesome than that?
Keeping an upbeat attitude and saying 'well fuck, I'm gonna salvage SOMETHING out of this trip' and finding a copy of Dark Cloud - a condor-eggs rare PS2 RPG - to buy, along with a Luigi figurine.

I'm hesitant to put stock in things like destiny or fate, but things do work out for me like this an awful lot.

...it's been a pretty stressful couple of days, and I thought about making a whiny LJ post a couple of times. Unfortunately, since I didn't write it down right away, all those bad things have completely gone from my mind.

It's a small advantage to having an atrocious memory, I suppose.

Oh, and while I think of it, if any of you roleplaying types are looking for something new, please consider [info]texaco_rp! I didn't make it, but the premise is just inherently hilarious. GAS STATION RP, WOOOOOO

Since I picked up an old PS2 for my birthday, I've been working on filling the holes in my collection; gathering all the classics, all the stuff I missed out on while I was enjoying myself with the Gamecube. I picked up GTA: San Andreas today towards that end, cheaply, and I gotta say it's nice to have a copy. I can dick around for as long as I like without worrying about late fees or imposing on a friend's hospitality.

Anyway, I've been sitting on these caps for two days now. I should use them.

Previous Episodes

LEAF it to Jonesy! )

And that's the Grass Club! Since I have to fight Ronald the Jerk next episode, I'll ask this now:

Which Club should Jonesy head to next?

The options are:
- Rock Club
- Grass Club

- Water Club
- Science Club
- Fire Club

Let me know where he should go!

Rented out Shadow of the Colossus today. It is very, very good; everything that I've heard about it is true. The only thing I could pick at is the horse can be kind of uppity, but even that could be put down to realism.

Doesn't mean I can slack on the ol' TCG, though!

Man, I was feeling so burnt-out this morning, after having to write 4000 words in the space of a week for a bunch of assignments, not to mention the 1500 words to come. But now, I've only got about 700 words left, written a fic, and done a whole bunch of other stuff. I am consistently surprised about how quickly I bounce back from these things.
